March 3 is GIRLS' DAY.
It's something my family celebrates every year, and as I do on GC every year...I just wanted to wish my GC girls a HAPPY GIRLS DAY!
Hinamatsuri (Dolls' Festival) is held on March 3rd. Households with daughters set up a tiered platform covered with red felt and display on it dolls representing the emperor, empress, court ladies and attendants, dressed in the flamboyant robes of the Heian court. This festival was established to pray for the health and sound growth of their daughters.
